First single available for download and album on presale…

You can now check out the first single from Third Eye Surgery. 

Bubblegum

The last week has been pretty exhausting for me. Listening to the final mastering, going back to the studio and making small corrections, listening again, drifting alone in a sea of probable decisions, struggling with last minute doubts, feelings of anal holding on as well as a driven longing for letting it all go, instead of listening to the same songs AGAIN. Too little sleep and too many worries. But the work is done and I honestly don’t feel there’s anything we can do to improve on it.

Nothing Is Real

Today I’m back in Black Tornado for the mastering of Third Eye Surgery.

Down To The Bottom

Amazingly, the mix we did of Honalee last night is almost there, we just need to adjust a few levels.

Honalee

We managed to do a GREAT mix of LLAF, so much better that when we compared the two, there was no doubt at all. It sounds much broader and dreamier, with loud tambourine and sitar in front of drums soaked in reverb. We also cut it down a bit, so the track ends at 4:33, shortening the freakout outro considerably.

Love Like A Flower

Our mix of Dandelion from yesterday turned out great, but we still need to make a few corrections to Waiting For The War. It’s what sometimes happens when you work too long on the same track – it becomes a bit bland and too nice sounding.

Dandelion

After a 30 minute bike ride through a very rainy Copenhagen, I’ve basically stripped to my boxers and socks to match today’s studio dresscode, approved of the mix we did last night of Third Eye Surgery and moved on to Dandelion.

Bullshit Detector

I’m back in the comforting womb of Black Tornado today, still slightly hungover from the new years party two days ago. Ok, I’m not 35 anymore I guess.

It’s Just A Ride…

We have now decided to stop recording and start mixing the album. I’m part relieved that most of my job is done, but also I have this creeping feeling that I’ve missed something somewhere, ever since I woke up this morning.

Third Eye Surgery

I have now recorded the basic tracks for 13 new songs in my favourite Black Tornado studio with technician Anders “Evil Jebus” Onsberg and plan on spending the next three weeks over christmas and into the new year finishing an album which will be titled Third Eye Surgery, for release by Bad Afro in april 2012.
